1. You have got to be tall to be a glamour model in most cases. Adds to the womanly look. Can you answer this please? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuUQUAUkZynOAys.bceOct7sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080624070909AAO51c0
2. It doesn't take much - go on Craig's list, look for photogs who want to shoot glamour and pinup stuff, and then show up. Unless you are working through an agency (which doesn't normally book this kind of work, which is why they wouldn't be interested in telling you how to go about doing it), you won't make much money, if any, and you might not be working with the most professional photogs. That's not to say that some legit photogs aren't out there shooting this stuff - but they typically hire quality models (who have model stats) to do it. Why do you want to do this? Ego boost? For fun? As a hobby? A need to capture your youth? Do you think you're going to make a career out of something like this? It is truly unlikely. You can make a hobby of it, but a career is virtually impossible unless you look like Dita von Teese. You need to decide why you're really doing it - that will dictate how serious you are about finding good, trustworthy photogs. Guys who shoot lingerie and pinup "models" are a dime a dozen on the internet, and they will shoot anyone that shows up, regardless of their true modeling potential (or lack thereof). If you show up willing to show some skin, they'll photograph you. Be safe and ALWAYS take a chaperone with you. If a photog refuses to let you bring someone with you, don't bother with him/her. As for sending your photos to major retailers and hoping that they'll want to hire you - that is the most misleading advice EVER! Retailers like that book agency models - they don't take girls off the street and pay world-class photogs to take photos of them for their advertisements. Agencies don't have interest in you, according to your post, so retailers who are agency clients won't either, sad but true.
3. Contact some department stores and send them your pics. Vickis secret, Sears, Macys, even walmart or k-mart. They are always looking for new faces for their catalogs. All I can say, is get your pic out there!!! Email playboy and see what they say. They do a lot of stuff other than their main magazine. Do you have an agent or a rep? That's the first thing I would get. Good luck.
